<-- that's how it was for me. Though the "maturation" lecture was terribly antiquated, watched filmstrips from the 1950s (this was ~1990). The nurse who gave the lecture was older than dirt.
Luckily my older sister started about a month before I did, so all the supplies were available. I read package instructions and was fine. I didn't tell my mom I had started menstrating until a couple of years later. She tried to have a talk with me and I explained that I'd been menstrating regularly for two years and that I was a-ok.
